I know its a little late in the day to be questioning the type of surgery I have, I was recommended the sleeve by my original consultant, but when im looking at other forums and a few on here, people opting for the sleeve over the bypasses bmi's seem so much lower than mine, mines 53

I had a sleeve and my BMI when I saw the surgeons would have been about 53 too. I wanted the sleeve because of its effect on the production of ghrelin.I know its a little late in the day to be questioning the type of surgery I have, I was recommended the sleeve by my original consultant, but when im looking at other forums and a few on here, people opting for the sleeve over the bypasses bmi's seem so much lower than mine, mines 53

When I started my journey my bmi was about 48. I had a consultation with Prof Ammori about a year ago and he recommended the sleeve. I took time to research etc and as you know have the procedure next Friday. For me, it just seems simpler. And less risky re longer term complications. I think we a bmi of 53 you will still achieve fantastic results. If you're concerned then try and discuss at pre op?

I too was 53, and had planned the RNY but ended up with the sleeve. Initially shocked and disappointed I am now delighted. I recommend it and I have to lose so much weight but have lost three stones already.
Keep reading about the difference between the types and you'll decide yourself which fits your own needs and eating habits.

Today went ok actually, it was info more than anything but all quite positive, my BP was still highish, but its been worse and they werent too worried. Its looking like it may be a morning surgery not afternoon like initially told so thats good. My blood still runs cold whenever I think too much about being put to sleep, but I dont think that will change now x
Glad it went well. Will your aftercare be at the Alex too? Hope you feel well informed now.

So I did it, not often I feel proud of myself but put aside the guilt of getting here in the first place and I am chuffed I could do it. Finally went to theatre about 4.30, remember someone told me it was then 6.30 in recovery and I said to the anaethetist I woke up, he laughed and said I told you that was the plan, I blinked and it was 8pm and I was on the ward, thats pretty much how it went until 2am, then I was wide awake. My mouth felt like a welly, my lips had never been so dry I was allowed 30mls an hour but out of fear just used most of it to wet my mouth the first hour, then little sips were ok, got a bit carried away at one point had maybe a 10/15ml gulp, that hurt for a minute. Had real trouble getting comfy in bed and kept thinking all my wriggling may pop something, especially getting out onto the commode. I spent the next 4 hours in and out of bed trying to wriggle the gas pain about and nod back off, inbetween 30 minute BPs. But by morning I was told free fluids and unhooked from everything so could walk about, id never had peppermint tea but i tried it as was told its good for wind and was actually quite nice. Was then seen by physio, did the stairs, specialist nurse went through everything and I was told if I managed some clear soup at lunch I could go, 24 hours!!!! I was nervous but very relieved to be in my own surroundings, family insisted I go to bed, which I did try for an hour but wind still playing up so was doing laps of the bedroom more than anything but manageable. Probably managed about 650mls today, not loads but tomorrows a full day so will try harder. Im managing on paracetamol only so I think im doing well, it just feels like I would imagine id feel if ive done about 200 sit ups every time i move, I know every day may not be as positive as this but I feel very lucky at the moment, so sit ups done (toilet break) and calpol taken, so back to sleep for me

You are doing excellent JakkiD. You are putting me to shame. The fluids are a full time job atm so don't worry yet takes a full day. I am struggling with breathing hence not slept a wink. Doing deep breathing and coughing to try and improve.So I did it, not often I feel proud of myself but put aside the guilt of getting here in the first place and I am chuffed I could do it.
